Museum / Art Gallery Indoor Mapping, Navigation & Positioning Software

Digital maps and indoor wayfinding make it easy for visitors to navigate large, complex buildings. An accurate venue map is also the foundation for a variety of other experiences, including blue dot navigation and proximity messaging.

When creating a digital map for your museum or art gallery, it’s important to find a reliable indoor mapping provider that has experience with mapping spaces of different sizes. While some people may choose to build their own map, the complexity of creating an indoor map can be daunting and incorporating various other technologies can be nearly impossible.

Once you’ve decided on a provider, you will need to prepare the details to share with your vendor. For a gallery or museum venue, you will need to find the building layout and floor plans so that the provider can upload the blueprints of your space. With all the information in place, indoor mapping solutions can render the static 2D maps into digital 3D maps. You will also need to gather location data such as exhibits, collections, time periods, and any other relevant and categorical information.

Once your indoor map is rendered, you can also customize the design and features. Determine the wayfinding platform that is right for your venue, whether a mobile navigation app, a web solution, or Digital Directory. Add your branding colours to the map for a consistent feel across platforms.

Indoor navigation tools improve the overall user experience for visitors to your venue. Users can access a digital, interactive map of your museum or art gallery along with accurate directions to navigate from point A to B and ensure they don't miss a single exhibit in their museum visits.

Indoor mapping technology in museums works similar to other industries. 2D maps are converted into digital 3D maps. Regardless of device, users can pan, zoom, and rotate the map or use interactive features such as Smart Search, Mobile Pass, category listings, and more.
